We are not special. We are just survivors.

Pandora wants so much more than what her village can provide. When disaster comes to the River People, Pan has the opportunity to become their saviour and escape her inevitable pairing with life-long friend Matthew. She wants to make her own choices. Deep in her soul, she believes there is something more out there, beyond the boundaries, especially since she encountered the hunter of the Mountain People.

A story of confused love, difficult friendships and clumsy attempts at heroism, Pan's fight for her village's survival will bring her into contact with a whole new world, where the truth about the past will have terrifying reverberations for her people's future survival.

'This is a chilling, thrilling and addictive novel. It's one of those books that forces you to look at yourself as you connect with the characters. You'll wonder what you'd do in similar circumstances, about your own future, about our planet's future...

River Stone will send chills down your spine and have you reading just one more chapter late into the night. It's thought provoking and imaginative and filled to the brim with amazing and varied characters that see the world differently, providing readers with many different perspectives on the topics explored through the novel. If you like dystopian stories that challenge ideas and make you think, I highly recommend River Stone.' - Shaye Wardrop, Kids' Book Review
